For Our Bridget

Back in the chair

So proud and straight

The clouds move on

No more to wait




Bright 6 year old

So early aware 

The time, the years

The rain to bear




Clouds and storms 

Of wire and brace

Some highs, more lows

You had to face




Building toward

More teeth more bone

but the pain you had 

To endure alone




With all the crosses

Dark Days to see

Never losing once

That dignity




Your time has come 

The day is bright

You've earned all this 

With force and might




So our wee girl

With all that style

Can add to this

Your breathtaking smile 




Love to you

Our little one

So proud so happy

You see the sun
